	Cm
	Oh, let me tell my story friend

	Fm	Gm	Cm
That you might l	earn to s	tay away from	sin

	Cm
	I took a life not mine to take

	Fm	Gm	Cm
Imprisoned	for this	haunting dread mis	take

My heart was harder than my soul

They sentenced me to life without parole

Where no one cares, we're all the same

And I must wear this number for my name

Chorus

	Ab	Cm
Now life to	me is black and	white

	Fm	Gm	Cm
I'll wear these	stripes un	til the day I	die

	Ab	Cm
But this ball and c	hain around my	leg

	Fm
Won't drag me	down, won't drag me down

	Gm	Cm
	When I am	dead

My mother prayed so hard for me

She did her time down on bended knees

But I was young and I had no fear

Her pleading voice still echoes in my ear

Don't let the beauty blind your eyes

This world is filled with discolored lies

For greener fields don't sell your soul

You'll think you're rich with a pocket of fool's gold

Chorus

I'd rather be in this dark cell

Than to be free and die and go to hell

God bless the day of my new birth

I don't have to pay the price that I deserve

Chorus

Ending:

	Ab	Cm
And when I'm	dead and take my	flight

	Fm	Gm	Cm
I'll leave be	hind this	world of black and	white
